Soon i'm going to start my second grow, (pic';s of first grow below). I have new Digital 400w ballast so i now can run both Mh & Hps so my question is which is better to use in vegg faze of growth?? I know everyone says Mh in Vegg. and Hps in Flowering BUT the Mh is only 38,0000 Lums per. 400w and the Hps is 55,000 lums per 400w so is it better to loss 17,000 lums by useing Mh and get better light spectrum or just continue to use the Hps, with more lums but less of the cerrect light spectrum for vegg stage. I guess its a trade off, one has better light spectrum (Mh in veg but less lums) and other Hps more lums less light spectrum, I was thinking about switching bulbs every day at set time so one day i have Mh for 23.5 hours then the next day Hps for 23.5 hours. i know this may sound crazy to switch bulbs in and out every day but it for the girls and i think i should be doing only the best for my girls with what i have and i have both so what do i do??? if any one can help me with this i would really appreciate it. Any help plz.
